Cool, but I am more excited about the French maintaining a fusion reaction for over twenty minutes.

Columbanus sounds like something that climbs up your butt.

My boomer uncle just bought a brand new one. I relentlessly send him articles like this and reports on the tanking resale value of Teslas. I’m having too good a time busting his balls.

EDIT: That last line of the article goes hard.

The brand that once promised to save the planet is now a study in how fast one ketamine-addled man-child can drive a company off a cliff.

Discovering that arsenic ingestion is bad for you doesn’t make your ingestion of cyanide better.

(I loved the Google Music recommendation engine, RIP)

This will never cease to sting. Google Play Music was so good.

Isn’t making shit up the whole point? Otherwise it’d be a board game.

Yeah. It’s locked down at the firewall level.

If you are not able to find a dumb TV, I recommend Google based TVs (GTVs). Unlike some Roku based TVs, GTVs will boot and work just fine even if you never configure their network access. If you do opt to enable network access on a GTV, you can set up static IP addresses on them, including PiHole as DNS.

My wife likes the convenience of a smart TV in her office so I DMZ’d it so that it has no access to our home network and it goes through a dedicated PiHole on a Pi Zero. Neither the Roku or LG TVs we had allowed for this, so I sold the RokuTV and I connected the LG to a thin client with a Bluetooth remote.

PS: Hisense makes a great 4K TV that goes to shit the moment you connect it to the network because of inadequate computing power, low memory, and bad code (memory leaks). If you don’t connect it to a network and use it as a dumb TV, it is great display for very little money.

Dead eyes…every time.

I have been working in tech since 1995. The one constant in the industry is that everyone is stealing everything all the time.

I feel dirty.

For the love of all that is pure and holy, don’t force me to agree with Ken Paxton! It’s inhumane.

I love the ultra paranoid path Proton offers. It reminds me.of GoldenEye.

You -> VPN Server 1 -> VPN Server 2 -> TOR -> endpoint.

So…MÖRK BORG then.

One many of us use but I don’t see listed so far is the Signal protocol.

Sex traffickers also use the platform to abuse and exploit them…

I hate bullshit clickbait like this article. These are horror stories about sex trafficking and slavery, not about OnlyFans. Crap like this is what killed Craigslist’s adult personals. At the time, it had become a tool for sex workers to come out of the shadows and be free of pimps and slavers. All the closing of Craigslist’s sex work section did was hurt sex workers. Articles like this aim to do the same to platforms like OnlyFans.

This lines up with their marked decrease in service quality. Azure is eating AWS’ lunch.

The web app that runs on browsers, Linux, etc., only supports 1080p/60fps. The native client for Windows and Mac can run at high resolution and max settings and fps.

All I need is a native, feature complete, Nvidia GeForce Now Linux client. It is literally the only reason I keep a Windows installation around.
